SOURCES - Local Advertising Efforts really determine whether an event is a success or not! If people hear of an event from multiple credible sources it has more weight, reach out to local partners and ASK them to share in meetings, social media, etc.

Local Businesses - Social media, flyers on doors, they may even donate sponsorship or door prizes (check legality)

Active members on Twitter, NextDoor, Facebook, etc.

Media - Local papers & news are always looking for local interest stories to cover

INFORMATION - Have your flyer ready in paper & electronic formats READY to GO, on your phone at all times! You may make a connection in a meeting or store. Make sure EVERY message & format has Name of event, time, place, contact name, number & a link if there is one! A picture is worth 100 words and videos even more! P.S. Facebook EVENT pages are free and easy to set up.

Take pictures, get a headcount & offer a mailing list sign up, & POST afterwards! If you can, get evaluations or short video testimonials, or if the media covers it, SHARE THOSE CLIPS! (Remember Privacy concerns)
